House Formally Rebukes Wilson

Rollcall ^

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

The House approved by a 240-179 vote a rare resolution of disapproval Tuesday against Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) for interrupting President Barack Obama and screaming “You lie!” during last week’s joint session of Congress.

Hmmm ... Bawney Fwank voted “present”? That’s a surprise.

Shea-Porter is one of New Hampshire’s communists. I’m surprised she passed-up the chance at some Bolshevik Theater. Maybe she’s beginning to feel the heat back here at home.

Ditto.

This just illustrates how hypocritical the Democrat party is. Ok to boo, name call, etc Bush and Republicans on the Senate/House floor.

Then again, they also have no problem doing the same to their constituents and the American people so I guess it's all "par for the course".

Donate to Joe Wilson.

Baghdad Jim McDermott votes no, Flake and Rohrabacher vote Yes?

Which of the ‘seals’ tribulations is this again, or are we up to the ‘bowls’?

“Strictly party lines I assume....”

Mark Levin had Wilson on a few minutes ago and referred to (I think) 5 Republicans who voted FOR the censure, and maybe 7 Dems voted against. Sure want to know who they are, on both sides.

[Sir Beowolf]

Thanks Pots

[ADemocratNoMore]

What Dick Chaney said to leaky leahy is exactly the same as my response to these despicable congresscritters. Wear their as a badge of honor, Joe.

Not as surprising as this ‘no’ vote....
James McDermott of Washington

I was surprised at first at the 'no' from MA's Delahunt -- but then I figured the 'no' vote Dems were sulking because they couldn't get an actual censure (which AFAIK is the most severe form).

7 Republican votes for the resolution:
Cao
Emerson
Flake
Inglis (from South Carolina)
Jones
Petri
Rohrabacher

[RJS1950]

Everyone who supports Wilson should email the house with emails that say “Obama is a liar”.

The vote ......... It may need to be refreshed.
